What if the most powerful tool for human dignity in our lifetime isn't a policy or a protest movement — but a money the state can't reach? Brian takes the values of the social justice movement seriously — lifting up the marginalized, protecting the vulnerable, resisting tyranny — and runs them through John Rawls's "veil of ignorance." If you didn't know who you'd be born as — a Manhattan banker or a single mother in Lagos, a Connecticut homeowner or an Afghan coder in Herat — which monetary s...
SHOW NOTES Episode Summary Brian traces the tragedy of the commons from medieval English pastures through Venetian banking to the modern dollar network, arguing that monetary history is the history of shared resources getting captured by whoever is closest to them. He connects this to the deepest pattern in biology — every organism consumes until collapse — and asks what it means that humans are the only species capable of seeing the constraint and choosing differently. Bitcoin is examined as...
The 30-year mortgage didn't make housing affordable. It made it permanently more expensive. Here's the only thing that actually fixes it. Episode Summary Brian traces the systemic causes of housing unaffordability — from the 30-year mortgage to securitization to the Cantillon effect — arguing that every proposed fix fails because none of them address the monetary premium at the root of the problem. He then makes the honest case for Bitcoin as the demonetizer: not a quick fix, not without vola...
Episode Summary Brian traces the arc from evolutionary biology to monetary policy, arguing that the rage and tribalism of modern political life are not caused by cultural failure or moral decline — they are the predictable output of a monetary system that exploits humanity's hardwired fairness instincts while hiding its own role in doing so. Key Concepts Covered Frans de Waal's capuchin fairness experiments — Displaced aggression in stress research — Interest rates as civilization's operating...
Episode Summary In this episode, Brian explores a framework from permaculture that expands what we mean by wealth. Drawing on the work of Ethan Roland and Gregory Landua's 2011 paper Regenerative Enterprise, he walks through the eight forms of capital — and argues that sound money and regenerative living aren't competing philosophies. They need each other. He also gets personal: what it means to sell chemicals for a living while believing in regenerative agriculture, why the family is the mos...
No one wrote this sermon. No one preached it. But if you pay attention, it's there. In Episode 12, Brian explores one of the most provocative ideas on Love & Hard Money yet: that Bitcoin — without intending to — encodes principles that every major religious and philosophical tradition has tried to teach for thousands of years. Don't steal. Tell the truth. Respect limits. Honor your word. This isn't an argument that Bitcoin is sacred. It's an observation that it rhymes with something that ...
Episode 11: "The Cost Of A Dollar" Henry Ford believed that if Americans truly understood the banking and monetary system, there would be a revolution before morning. In this primer episode — built to share with the Bitcoin-curious — Brian walks through three acts: how dollars are actually created (the Treasury/Fed/fractional reserve cycle, and the Cantillon Effect that tells you who benefits), what that monetary architecture has produced in the real world (fiat food, fiat health, fiat relati...
Episode 10: Do Tariffs Matter? The tariff debate is one of the most consequential economic conversations of our time — and it's almost entirely missing the point. In this episode, Brian argues that the fight over tariffs is a second-order argument happening inside a fraudulent frame. The real question isn't whether tariffs are good or bad. It's whether free trade is even possible when the money itself is corrupt. What we cover: Why money is half of every transaction — and what happens when th...
